"Scott Benson, you'll be sitting next to Arielle Reese." That one sentence changed Arielle's life forever. Meet the school's bad boy- Scott Benson. Rebel, badass, a chick magnet, you name it. Arielle on the other hand, is the complete opposite. Good girl, good grades, doesn't go out much and doesn't communicate with people that often. What happens when these two were told to sit next to each other? Arielle soon found herself in a journey that consists of jealousy, betrayal, trust, friendship, heartbreaks, tears, smiles, happiness, sadness and love. When she thought that her life couldn't get more complicated and more problematic, it got even more worse. And it's all because the school's bad boy sat next to her.
